Stone Steps at Ponta de São Lourenço

Highlight • Trail

It is best to go early in the morning, because many large buses stop here from noon ... the path is continuously in the sun, enough water and a cap is an advantage, but there are fantastic views!

Gruta da Furna do Bode

Highlight • Cave

The hiking trail on the north side is much more exciting in terms of altitude. I recommend the trails along the south side for people who are a little more height sensitive.

Atlantic View from the Narrowest Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the narrowest point of Ponta de São Lourenço, a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean opens up – on both sides of the peninsula. The narrow spit of land drops steeply to the coast, intensifying the feeling of standing between sea and sky. A particularly spectacular section that impressively showcases the dramatic beauty of this landscape.
